PDP-8/m !!!!

I finally have a PDP-8/m. On the 1st of November someone that knows I'm looking for one notified me of a Internet auction that was ending in about 4 hours, and I was able to get the winning bid of $356 in (thankfully this wasn't on eBay). M8330 -- Timing board (system clock) M8310 \_ KK8E CPU control M8300 / KK8E CPU registers M847 -- MI8E Hardware Bootstrap Loader. M848 -- KP8E Power fail and auto-restart. M849 -- shield to isolate memory from CPU M8650 -- KL8E RS232 or current loop serial interface. G104 \ H220 > MM8E 4K memory (H220) G227 / M8320 -- KK8E Bus terminator It arrived today, and I just unboxed it a few minutes ago. As a result you can see the web page with pictures at the following URL: http://zane.brouhaha.com/healyzh/PDP8m.html Now, I've got to figure out where I'm going to put it for the time being. I also need to figure out what a couple of the cables that were included are for. Unfortunatly I think the console interface is a 20ma interface. However, there is a Canon plug that I've no idea what it goes to. I'll be cleaning it up before I try and fire it up. Unfortunatly I've got to leave for work in a little over an hour so that will have to wait till tomorrow. Also, the module list that I announced yesterday has grown in size considerably and now includes at least a few parts from the following systems: PDP-4 PDP-5 PDP-6 PDP-7 PDP-8 PDP-9 PDP-10 PDP-12 PDP-14 Programmable Controller PDP-15 PDP-16 The YADML can be found at ftp://zane.brouhaha.com/pub/ModuleList.txt Zane | Zane H.
